Japan is known for its food, culture, entertainment and its high tech toilets. According to a Cabinet Office consumer confidence survey conducted in 2018, an astonishing 80.2 percent of Japanese households own an electronic toilet with a bidet function. Leading the industry in lavatory hardware is a Japanese company called TOTO. Offering a range of functions such as heated seats, automatic opening and closing lids, bidet, air deodorizer, wireless remote controls, and much more, TOTO’s luxurious high tech toilets not only provide a comfortable experience but also helps conserve energy and natural resources.
According to Scientific American, US citizens use 36.5 billion rolls of toilet paper every year costing roughly 15 million trees, 473,587,500,000 gallons of water, 253,000 tons of chlorine for bleaching and 17.3 terawatts of electricity annually to produce. To counter this, TOTO offers a bidet function that cleans both the front and the rear of an individual. To dry the wet areas after the bidet, there is a temperature-adjustable, warm-air dryer function.
By using the TOTO bidet function, not only will you not have to purchase toilet paper ever again thus saving money and the environment. It will also be more hygienic as your hand will not be in direct physical contact with your rear.
TOTO also offers an automatic cleaning function called Premist and ewater+. Premist wets the toilet bowl surface before use to improve in the elimination of wastes by about 80 percent better than a dry bowl, while the ewater+ uses electrolyzed disinfectant water to cleans the bowl after each use, reducing the need for using harmful cleaning chemicals.
